Hey, I'm back again. I just wanted to take a second to send a shout out to one of you readers. Thanks BlackFlower MistyClan for reviewing most of my stories for Sadie and Anubis. I'm glad you like them and I hope you continue to enjoy this one. I hope you guys all enjoy. Let me know what you think in the reviews. :)
Sadie's POV
I put my hood of my sweater up and put my hands in my pockets and walk down the street towards the town. Anubis was alone and injured so I am trying my best to walk as fast as I can without looking to suspicious in case anyone was working for Set. I walk for a few minutes then see a gas station. I go in and I start getting stuff for us to eat. I grab some bottles of water, some bags of chips, then I take a couple slices of pizza they had set up and I go to the counter.
"Seems like a lot for just one person," The cashier says.
"I have a friend with me," I say. "They stayed behind."
She just smiles and continues to ring the stuff up. She puts the waters and the chips in the bag. I give her the money and she gives me the change back. I leave and head back to where I left Anubis. When I get back I see him asleep on the couch. I walk over and set the bags down then I sit on the coffee table across from the couch he was on. I put my hand on his shoulder and shake him slightly.
"Anubis," I say. "Wake up."
He sit's up immediately and then flinches from the pain from his arm. I keep my hand on his shoulder to calm him down.
"It's alright," I say. "It's just me."
"You just left," He says.
"You fell asleep," I say. "I've been gone for half an hour. I have some food if you're hungry."
I get up and head back to where I set the food. I take a slice of pizza and a bottle of water and hand it to him. "Thanks Sadie," He says. "My job is to make sure your safe. It seems to be the other way around now."
"It seems like Set wants us both for a reason," I say. "We both have to be careful and watch out for each other."
"Yeah," Anubis says. "I would probably be dead from blood loss if you hadn't helped me."
"You should probably get some rest," I say. "I'll keep watch and wake you up when it gets late. You need to get some strength back. You lost quite a bit of blood."
"If you need me wake me up," Anubis says. He sets his empty paper plate down and he lays back down using his sweater as a pillow. I get back up and take a flashlight to look around. I've decided to search for some things that we could use for supplies since all we had was Anubis's backpack. Mine was missing in all the chaos of running away. I'm assuming it was still with Set's people in the van. This hotel was abandoned no more than a couple years ago. I go over to the main desk area and walk around to the office in the back. There wasn't much except for old papers and documents. I decide to head over to one of the hallways and search the rooms.
I spend the next few hours exploring the place. It seemed to be a nice hotel when it was running. I wonder why it got shut down. I look at the time. It was 5pm. I decide to go over and wake up Anubis. I see him sleeping with his injured arm resting over his chest and his other arm hanging off the edge. I sit on the edge of the couch by his legs and put my hand on his. "Anubis," I say. "It's getting late. We should probably get going."
I sit there and watch as he moves his arms to sit up. I take my hand and put it in my lap along with my other hand. He looks around then looks at me.
"Are you feeling any better?" I ask.
"Yeah," He says. "I feel a little bit better. My arm still hurts every time I move it."
"We can probably get something to help with the pain before we get going." I say. "I searched the hotel when you were sleeping. I didn't find much but I did find a first aid kit which would probably be helpful."
I put the kit and a couple of the snacks and water bottles we had left into the bag. I look over and see Anubis struggling to put his jacket on with his injured arm. I walk over and help him.
"Thank you," He says.
We both put our hoods up and head out. I walk with the backpack over my shoulder. I was slightly behind Anubis. We walk over to a car rental place. Once we get inside I sit down with the bag while Anubis walks up to the lady.
"Hello," The lady at the desk smiles.
"Hello," He smiles. "I need to rent a car. Me and my girlfriend are kind of in a hurry to get to my brother's wedding and we need to rent a car because mine broke down."
"Alright," The lady says. "I'll see how fast I can get you one set up."
The lady heads to the back and Anubis walks over to me. "Girlfriend?" I say. "That's the best you can come up with."
"I had to come up with something to get her to speed up the car rental process." He says. "Trust me, it works all the time."
"It looks like we have a car we can get you guys into really quick. You just have to sign a couple papers and then pay for the car then you two can be on your way in a half an hour." The lady says as she returns.
"Alright," Anubis says.
Anubis signs the paperwork and stuff and the lady goes back and gets the keys. She leads us back into the parking lot. She walks over to a black two door Pontiac Grand Prix. She hands Anubis the keys. "Here you guys go. Have a safe trip."
"Thank you so much," I say.
She smiles at us. "I hope you two enjoy the wedding!" She calls walking away.
Anubis and I get into the car and I put the backpack in the back seat. Anubis starts driving. We sit in silence for a while.
"That was easier than I thought it would be," I say.
"We could use easy for a while," Anubis says. "We had a rough day."
"I'm sure we'll have another problem soon," I say.
"If everything goes well it should be about a three-day drive to get you home." Anubis says.
"Do you think Set will get us?" I ask.
"I think he underestimated who he tried to capture," Anubis says. "He'll probably send out more reinforcements to get us to come in."
"I figured he would have the spy transporting me killed," I say. "It would make more sense because you are trained to escape tough situations. I could still be captured if they had killed you. Maybe he wants you alive."
"I think if he wants what's best for him he would have me killed on sight." Anubis says.
I look at Anubis. I could tell the topic of Set made him angry. "Did he do something to your family to?" I ask.
"It's a long story," Anubis says. "Let's just say that I became a spy to take him down. That's why I'm here. My boss thought I would be the best to get you to your family because I have the strongest hate for Set."
"I thought he choose you because you never lost a mission," I say. "That's what my brother told me over the phone. That my father hired a spy to help me get home and that the spy has never failed on a mission."
"I've never failed a mission yet," Anubis says. "I do spend all my time working. I don't usually take vacations like the others do."
"Why not?" I ask. "You do deserve a break sometime."
"I have a bigger mission that I need to complete before I can rest. Taking down set." Anubis says.
I look around. It was starting to get dark. I was starting to get tired. "I think I'm going to try to get some sleep." I tell him.
"Alright," Anubis says. "I'll wake you up when I stop for breakfast."
I climb to the back of the car and lay across the back seat. Using Anubis's jacket as a pillow. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
Narrator POV
Set sits at his desk when one of the messengers come in. "Sir," He says. "I have news from the team that was sent to capture Sadie Kane and Anubis Black."
"Have they caught them," Set says folding his hands together and resting them on the desk. He looks up at the man that was standing in front of him.
The man hesitates. "Well," He says. "They had them…."
"They had them," Set says. "Then what happened?"
"They got away," He says. "They tried chasing them down. Anubis was injured in the chase. We are checking the nearest hospitals to see if they had gone there."
"I want them found and delivered here as soon as possible. Send a second team to search. Check everywhere." Set says.
The man nods and leaves. "Oh," Set says. "And let's not let this happen again. Or someone will pay for it."
The man quickly exits the room.
Set stands up and looks out the window. "Revenge will be mine."
Hope you guys enjoyed. I really like how this story is going. Let me know what you guys think.
